ABOUT ME:

My name is Marta María. I am a native Spanish speaker and I have over 10 years of experience teaching Spanish as a second language to adults of many different nationalities and on all levels. I love teaching, explaining, playing, and seeing motivated students and results. Apart from the teaching itself and from class preparation, I´m engaged in constant research on different fields of linguistics: psycholinguistics, pragmatic and traditional grammar. I also spend much of my work time creating interesting, fun and clarifying materials for my classes. I am a self motivated learner and I am passionate and active within the fields of my interest; literature, humanities, social sciences, music, theatre and cinema. In my free time I write essays, reviews, and compose music. I enjoy the most when I can share culture with people and create meaning together. ABOUT THE COURSES:

Highly personalized courses allow follow up of each student and much more interaction of each student with the others and with me during the classes. The idea is to ensure as much practice as possible during the sessions. Cultural insight is fun. We use it to approach language itself and we exploit our innate capacity to understand and transmit meaning, but at the same time we aid ourselves with short grammar pills and lifesavers. Fun classes + Structured method = Results. PRACTICALITIES:

El cafecito:
Before a student decides whether they want to take a course with me, we meet to have a coffee :-) This the easiest, nicest and most effective way to ask and answer questions, and for me to assess the level of my students as well as start to spot their specific needs. Write a message to the inbox here if you want to have "un cafecito". Where? Group classes are held in Grünerløkka by Birkelunden Park. Tutoring (one to one) can be held at the student`s home/office, or in Grünerløkka by Birkelunden Park. How often? For group classes: I´m actually holding courses of one session per week, or courses of two sessions per week. For tutoring (one to one): we agree with the student how many sessions per week he/she wants to have. How long? Sessions are made up of two academic classes (45 minutes each). This means that each session lasts 1.5 hours. How much? You will find the price per student in the description of each course. You can also find a full chart with all the prices in the pictures of this page.
